Why should kids read?
Children read for the simple joy of traveling through their imaginations to explore new worlds and to gain understanding and appreciation about how all things and people are connected.

Johnette! Welcome to Kids Read. Why don't you post pics of your books? Also, post your chatter as a blog and it will show up on the main page for everyone to see. Miss you!!

Hey Children's Book Lovers! Thanks for connecting us all Dianne. Great idea. Check out my books and recordings on my website store at www.johnettedowning.com.

Also, I am going to launch a new haiku and music website for children on April 2, 2007 called Two Dragonflies. For a sneak peek, check it out at www.twodragonflies.com. If you have a children's haiku or poetry book, you can submit it for review on the site!
